Patrick answers listener questions about confession, how and how much to gift a priest who blesses your home, can blaspheme against the Holy Spirit be forgiven, and if it’s moral to not honor the last wishes of a dying loved one if their wish goes against Church teaching

• Chris – What would a second plenary indulgence do for someone?
• Ron – Have you heard about the book “Domestic Extremist” by a woman who is a recent convert to the Church? I think it is great tool for people.
• Betty – Indulgences and prayer Cards: If someone dies in mortal sin, will it matter how many Mass Card and indulgences they have?
• Victoria – Should I follow my atheist family’s wishes if they become unconscious and put in a hospital?
• Mark – Can blaspheme against the Holy Spirit be forgiven?
• Paul – Does a soul that is damned have a type of purgatory before they enter hell?
